Chapter 1

A teenage old boy just sits in his large and modern bedroom. He sits at his desk drawing as his pet dragon,a night fury, lays on his own bed. The Night Fury's bed is made of stone and is very big and placed in the opposite side of the bedroom.

The boy has reddish - brown short hair,pale skin,emerald eyes and freckles on his face. He is skinny and does not seem to have muscle. The human is wearing a long sleeve green shirt,brown long pants and black sneakers. Who is he? He is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third.

Hiccup is the son of a rich and successful businessman,Stoick Haddock. The business is a family company and is called " Berk". Hiccup's father is rarely around cause of work. They don't have much of a relationship. It had been this way for a long time.

Then suddenly Hiccup hears his smartphone WhatsApp message alert goes off. The boy immediately stops drawing and picks up on his smartphone. The black smartphone has a red phone cover that has Dragon scales print. He goes into WhatsApp and sees a new message from his friend, Jack Frost. He goes into the chat causing the ringtone stops playing.

' Hey Hiccup
Me and Branch are coming over ', the message says.

Jack and Branch are Hiccup's few and close friends. They met during their first year of middle school. Hiccup types a message back to his friend. The message immediately goes through. The mansion WiFi is very good. One of the perks of having an successful and rich business man for a father.

' Hey Jack
OK,I'll order some pizza 🍕 ', Hiccup replies.

Another message appears on the screen quickly.

' Cool 😎
See you soon ', Jack replies.

Hiccup leaves the chat then calls a pizza restaurant as he walks out of his bedroom with his dragon,Toothless, following him. Toothless is Hiccup's Night Fury. He has dark black scales, green cat - like eyes,retractable teeth and one real tail fin and the other fin is made by Hiccup to replace the missing fin. The replacement fin is made of red fabric,laver and metal.

Soon a tall teenage boy with a small teenage male troll on his shoulder ,who is holding on for dear life, lands in front of the small and modest mansion.

The teenage boy has pale skin,blue eyes and short white hair. He is wearing black jeans,white cheap sneakers,white shirt underneath his blue hoodie. Who is he? He is Jack Frost. Jack can fly with the help of the wind. He does not have a car and honestly he prefers flying like Hiccup.

The troll on Jack's shoulder is Branch Timberlake. He has grey skin,black hair,dull purple nose,pointy- round ears and blue eyes. He is a mixed race troll. Branch wears dark brown patchy shorts,a grey T-shirt and a leaf vest. Trolls are not born grey. Branch was born with colour but, had turned grey when he was very young.

Jack walks to the mansion door then knocks on it. Hiccup opens the door happily. The three teens smile at each other. Jack makes Hiccup look short. Jack is the tallest out of all three boys.

"Hey guys.", Hiccup greets.

"What's up.", Jack greets.

" Sup.",Branch greets.

Soon Hiccup, Jack and Branch are in Hiccup's bedroom. They share a pizza as they talk. Hiccup sits on his bed. Branch sits in front of Hiccup's bed pillow. Jack sits on Hiccup's desk chair which is next to bed. The pizza box sits between them on the big bed.

" My dad is still on a Business Trip as usual. Something came up so he had to stay longer... ",Hiccup says blankly.

Hiccup takes a slice of the pizza and takes a bite.

" I thought he was going to help you kick off the school year this year.",Jack says honestly.

Jack remembers a few days ago,Hiccup was talking to his dad on his phone. Afterwards he told Jack and Branch that he was coming back in a day or two and that he wanted to help him get ready for the first day of the new school year. Hiccup is not surprised that his dad didn't come back. He's use to not having his dad around to help him. He is disappointed.

"What came up this time?",Branch asks.

" Another business opportunity. Something about a special event idea that could help 'Berk' get more attention...", Hiccup says unhappily.

Jack and Branch are not surprised. Hiccup sometimes wished his dad would give him more attention and care like he does with the family business. It's only been just Hiccup and his dad ever since his mother,Valka Haddock, went missing... Hiccup was just a baby when it happened. It wasn't for the family pictures and the few stories he was told Hiccup would had known nothing about her. Then Hiccup decides to not focus too much on how his dad does not seem to care for him.

" Branch,didn't you have another interview with wanna be parents?",Hiccup asked.

Jack takes another slice of pizza then looks at Branch. Hiccup pets his dragon,Toothless, as he waits for Branch to answer. Branch just sighs then quickly ate the last piece of his pizza slice in his hand.

"Yup...The two trolls' smiles faded away so fast once they saw me. I'm pretty sure they were excepting a 'happy,adorable and little trolling'. It was an whole half hour of 'KMN' for me!", Branch says bluntly.

Branch is an orphan and has been since he was four years old. He had lost his whole family. Branch's parents died in a car accident when he was one years old. After their deaths it was just Branch and his grandmother Rosiepuff. She raised him until one day she got killed by a Serial Killer. Ever since that fateful and traumatic day, Branch was in the system, has been grey and depressed and blames himself for what happened.

Jack and Hiccup know how hard it is for Branch. He has trouble with letting people in. It's been that way for a long time. Jack and Hiccup are some of the few people he let's in.

"I highly doubt it that they want to adopt me! They even said it themselves that they didn't want me while exiting the room like I wasn't there...", Branch says trying to sound like it didn't bother him.

Jack and Hiccup see through it. Branch's expression,words and sad tone reminds Jack about the times people literally went through him like he was invisible. Jack was born with powers but, one night during a full moon something strange happened. Something changed that made Jack's life hard. Sometimes when others are too busy to notice Jack then Jack literally became invisible to them and they walked through him! This happens almost everyday. It hurts him a lot emotionally.

"Well, at least you were not literally invisible. It's their lost.", Jack says trying to comfort Branch.

Hiccup understands how Branch feels too. Sometimes others around him talk about him like he is not there.

" You still got me and Jack. Toothless too. ", Hiccup says softly.

Toothless purrs softly agreeing with Hiccup. Branch smiles at his friends. He feels better now.

" Thanks... ",Branch says softly.
